Hey guys Ive got a used turbofloter aqua medic shorty 5000 protein skimmer for sale.
http://www.aquacave.com/turboflotor-5000-shorty-compactbr-24-protein-skimmerbr-by-aquamedic-1017.html
That is a link to an averagely priced new one.
The unit works well, the only problem we're having with it is that it should probably be an in sump type skimmer at this point in its life because it has a leak that drips about every 3-5 seconds on one spot on the unit which we havent really been able to solve. If we could we'd be keeping it. Its an o-ring seal that is leaking.
Other than that it works perfectly fine, we just dont have the room in our sump to put it so we need to buy a new out of sump modeled one.
We are asking $250 for the unit and it comes with a pump to run it which I dont believe is included in the new models.
